Selected for 'Indie Books We Love' by LoveReading, UK'An impressive work of fantasy...world building is immense and captivating...it turns LA on its head ...very unique' -- Writer's Digest 'This fast-paced, deep delve into the underbelly of our humanness and other realms is a powerful ride that I recommend for those seeking a well-written, gripping adventure bathed in light.'- Cherie Kephart, Editor, Bazi Publishing'The action has a much larger scope in 'Wall of Unknowing' as the murky cloud expands and chaos seems to loom from every direction. There are moments of character growth but these are all in relation to the action and so I think that this would appeal to readers who prefer a more fast and furious urban fantasy. With a preternaturally skilled team facing off against a villain seeking to destroy a city by dragging it into the underworld, there's a strong superhero feel to the story once more and would appeal to readers who enjoy supernatural and superhero narratives. With lots of questions left unanswered we wait for the next epic instalment in the Red Souls series.' - LoveReading Review'Astral phantoms, energized crystal, car chases, a dragon-headed statue with a demon inside, an ever-approaching wall of terror, the underworld rising, and a courageous circle of friends who harness all their strength and supernal powers to save the souls of L.A., is just a taste.'A massive wall of lightning-filled static is spreading over Los Angeles.
